"IN GOD WE TRUST!" EDITOR'S NOTE: A group of ministers, realizing that Nlklta

Krushchev's visit to the United States Is a matter of great concern, have suggested that "every citizen of our land of freedom attend church on Sunday, Sept. 20, for a day of prayer, and by so doing, testify to the spiritual heritage that has made America g rea t "

This committee of ministers further suggest that the topic of next Sunday morning's sermon be, "In God We Trust", and fur-ther offer the following suggestions for the day of prayer:

Christ, th& Lord of both Church and Nation, has instructed His followers to pray for their enemies and admonishes prayer for all nations and their rulers.

'Mztk During the period of prayer, passages of Scripture may be read as the following: H Chronicles 7-12-22; Psalms 20, 59, 62, 121, 124; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12: 17; 13.

Petitions may be addressed to God: that Khrushchev may be de-livered from physical harm during his brief sojourn and that his soul may be saved; that the President may receive wisdom In his con-versations with Khrushchev; that Christians behind the iron and bamboo curtains may be delivered from persecution and may gain the liberty to worship God; that captive nations may be freed from tyranny; that Americans may demonstrate with deeds as well as words their trust in God rather than In prosperity and arms; that Americans may know the difference between a morality based on H belief in God, and a religion consisting of worship of the State; that America repents of national sins and returns to a sincere wor-ship of God through Christ the Saviour.

Sparta Meets Cedar Springs Friday Night

Rugged football Is In store for local fans as Sparta invades Cedar Springs Friday night for renewal of a traditional battle tliat dates back many years. In recent years a pig trophy has been added to give more significance to tills hard-fought contest. Last year, Sparta came from behind twice to subdue a stubborn Cedar team and a sincere battle appears again this year.

Cedar Springs has a strong for-ward wall, including several veter-anh and one of the largest the Spartans will face all season. Add a couple of veteran backs and the Blue and White could be In for plenty of trouble.

Sparta will counter with a back-field of fair size and speed and some scrappy linemen, who have shown good spirit this past week and appear ready for the opener. Coach Foster has not named a starting team yet, but he has wit-nessed several battles in selecting a starting squad. A real contest has developed at end where three lettermen, Ralph Radeck, George Klelbusch, and Bob Willis, along with Bob McCready, are all work-ing for an opening berth. Guards, Mike Calne and Eugene Lambson have also served notice that they want a spot when Sparto takes the field Friday night.

Backfield punch will have to be supplied by Pete Wolters, who has picked up and speed. Larry Welch, a regular last year and a pair of eager juniors, Dick Mc-Cready and Bentley Blackmer.

Guiding the offensive maneuver* will be Jim Norton or Roger Kik at the quarterback slot. Anchor-ing the line will be Dave Mutchler, who lias played regular two years. Jim Fryear, a speedy guard, and John Patterson, center. Jim Chap-man, Dale Pitchure, Chuck Ander-sun and Wayne Sxublnskl are sure of seeing action in the Spartan forward well

Although Spcrta has dominated the scries through the years. Ce-dar Springs has become a real gridiron power recently. A real struggle appears likely.

Smorgasbord Draws Big Crowd At Helsel Farm

The annual Smorgasbord, which | was held Tuesday at the Norrls Helsel farm, east of Kent City, drew a large attendance of guest food editors representing nation-ally known magazines, radio and television, along with newspaper wrlters.

Among honor guests In atten-dance were Gov. G. Menncn Wil-liams. Rep. Gerald R. Ford, Jr., George S. Mclnlyro, Michigan Ag-I ncultural director, and Arthur J. Hannah. Another distinguished, guest was Col. William Durbln of Chicago, a representative of the Armed Forces Procurement divi-sion.

Adding much color to the event was Betsy McPherson of Lowell, recently named Kent-Ottawa Hor ticultural Socicty apple queen.

Guest speaker was Dr. Harold B. Tukey, head of the Michigan State University horticultural de-partment, who discussed the food Industry's public relation problems.

As In former yea»s, the ground.; were beautifully and Impressively iecorated with the emphasis placed upon apples. The long food tables were loaded with a wide assort-ment of apple dishes. In fact, one of the largest apple pies was at least four feet in diameter.

The Helsel farm home was at-tractively decorated with beautiful blooming roses, chrysanthemums and related fall blossoms. The large orchard of Mcintosh apples was really something to see. The apple crop Is heavy with many branches bending to the ground with the choice fruit.

With the weatherman predict-ing a possible shower, a large tent was procured and erected on the grounds which was used by the luncheon guests.

Hundreds of cars were parked between the long rows of frui t trees. Those In charge of arrange-ments deserve hearty applause for their hard-working efforts which wound up another successful'Apple Smorgasbord.
